This art might feel different depending on what’s going on in the world and in your life when you view it. Today it feels (to me) like the title of this post, “peace in sadness”. I’m not sure how to put into words what I mean by this, but I’ll…

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
Revised this painting video today to upload it to YouTube. It seemed like a good choice to celebrate Valentine’s Day. I hope you are all finding a way to treat yourself and others with kindness today.

Quiet
People have been very quiet this weekend. I hope it’s because you’ve all been living your lives and not because you’re feeling too discouraged to connect. Today feels like a good time to re-share “How Great Thou Art”. This song comforts me when I’m down. Maybe it will lift your…

Irish Angel Revisited
Continuing with the ongoing project to upload my painting videos to YouTube, today’s upload needed more work. The raw footage is from my old camcorder and I’m blocking the canvas in a lot of it (tripod wasn’t positioned very well). So, the solution was to edit those parts out, which…

HONK!
HONK! This is the painting video I uploaded to YouTube today. You might remember when I first shared this, and I blogged about Canadian Geese in our yard? My daughter drew these geese as seen from her bedroom window. I loved her simple, peaceful pen illustration and asked to use…

What does Peace Mean?
“Peaceful” is a word used often lately in a way that bends, twists, and propagandizes the meaning. What does peace mean to you? Do you imagine a legal usage of the word? Do you visualize mockery, lies, cover-ups, and agendas? That’s a sad state of affairs. Turn off that dark…

Guardian Angel
I uploaded this painting video to YouTube today and since the music triggered a copyright claim I changed it. This new version seems to suit the art better so it was worth the extra work. I also had the opportunity to add a description which prompted me to think more…
